Vehicle Approach Exercise
Game sets up various scenarios for officers to approach stopped cars.
The motivation and history of each of the three types of participants
are randomly selected from the
game card set.

Vehicle Stop Scenarios - why is there a stop,
who is doing the stop
(uniform, plan clothes, undercover, on duty, off duty, etc.),
who is in the care, what did the people in the car do
(bank robbery, car sick, teething children gone mad, drunk,
suspended license).

The Defensive Maneuvers

The defensive maneuvers are designed to be effective by either a
right or left handed person being attacked by a person with a weapon
in either hand.

Initial Movement - Closest Hand

The hand that is closest to the attack at the moment of first
perception is the hand that initiates the first movement.

The palm down technique is designed to give the
officer the best possible protection for the intercepting arm,
regardless of the type of attack.

Secondary Movement - Cover and Clear

The officer uses their other hand (off-hand) to initiate a covering movement,
this prevents any downward redirection of the initial attack.
Use the off-hand to push or redirect the attackers knife hand up and over.
The officer is clear of the attacker, outside the knife hand.

Final Movement - Transition Point

Each defensive maneuver ends in the Transition Point. The inside
hand is positioned on the attackers shoulder or upper arm of the knife
hand and the outside hand is position on the wrist of the knife hand.
Either push the attacker away (disengage) and gain
reactionary distance.
Or use a distraction technique and disarm, takedown or other
control technique.
